A compass binnacle is a protective stand or enclosure designed to house a magnetic compass on a ship’s bridge or deck. It shields the compass from external elements, provides stability, and often contains corrector magnets and lighting. High-quality binnacles are made from brass, aluminum, or fiberglass and come in various sizes to fit different compass types. Indian marine suppliers offer standard and custom binnacles for all vessel types. Regular inspection ensures the compensators and gimbals function properly.
